    Making this cranberry sauce was incredibly easy . That canned stuff will never be on my table again. We will be adding this to our holiday menu. Of course, brown-sugar-honey-roasted-carrots/ and loaded-mash-potato-bake/  will also be served. What are some of your families favorites? Do you have your holiday menu planned? Is this Thanksgiving going to be normal for your family will you be able to get together for dinner? Im praying to be able to spend time with my grand children .

    Does The Sauce Get Served Hot or Cold?

    Normally it is served chilled. It will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

    In this recipe I used orange juice, however, if you prefer you can use water or a mixture of half and half. Also , I used lime zest, but any citrus zest will work. Orange or lemon. anything to give it a little zing .

    If you dont have fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries can be substituted, however I always prefer fresh when possible. Fresh are also great to use for vanilla-sugar-cranberries/  they are absolutely delicious. I also like to use fresh for my Cranberry Orange Muffins  they are so good and perfect for a quick breakfast.
